A little note, I did a arneson on a boat that has a bottom just like a Fountain. in testing found a lot and more fuel the worse the boat looses speed. I had the boat way to long to change stuff. I'm hoping the boat comes back for the modifications

A couple weeks after my son was born I found the Popeye boat and decided that would be a better advertising tool for the engines than a plain old 42. Unfortunately, I did not know how extensive the glass work would be to make it right. So while that and the countless other things with the Skater are being adressed I decided to put the 42 together.
So here we are today. Very cool project! Love to see people thinking and executing outside the box. It gets old hearing "that's not going to work" Good luck! |
How is this project going?
Hope your wife and son are ok! |

i see this has been dead for awhile but saw photos in another thread so i thought id track it down
love to see how it turned out and numbers. need them to sell the ball and chain on a new twin build:P |
If well built new technology turbo motors in a neat package were available for a reasonable price..... just think of the possibilities

We are doing a asd 7 on a 42 staggered but I pulled a mold and filled the notch,running 540 ci 950 hp with belt driven air cleaners.

Just a reminder, "Small blocks don't make enough torque to push a big boat, and turbos will never work in a marine performance environment." -2009
Wow, that statement didn't age well. 200 HRS later and still going. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...929edc429.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...31960be4d.jpeg |
